Choosing the Right Builder
Numerous home-building companies in Oklahoma are capable of constructing your new home. However, it's important to note that, unlike many states, Oklahoma does not require builders to hold a General Contractor’s License. While builders must have General Liability and Workers' Compensation Insurance, beyond that, anyone can claim to be a "builder." Before signing a contract, asking the builder some key questions is crucial. These questions may seem challenging, but the answers should be straightforward for the right builder.

At Southern Comfort Homes, we maintain strict quality control. We clean your home after each trade completes its work, ensuring that no unwanted materials are left behind on your walls or ceiling. Unlike many other new homes where debris like food wrappers or construction waste can be sealed in, we thoroughly inspect and maintain a pristine environment in every build.
All Southern Comfort Homes are built on post-tension concrete foundations, as recommended by Civil Engineers in Oklahoma. This approach ensures a more resilient structure, which is particularly important due to the region's expansive soils and increasing earthquake activity. Additionally, we prioritize using "Made in USA" products and trusted brands like GE, Kitchenaid, Delta, Owens Corning, and Lennox to provide the highest quality materials for your home.
We offer each client a personalized home binder, containing key details such as floor plans, design selections, emergency contact numbers, and a copy of your contract. Throughout construction, we communicate at several key milestones to ensure you're always in the loop. We also involve you in four distinct walk-throughs to confirm your home meets all your expectations, minimizing the chances of delays or costly changes later in the process.
Southern Comfort Homes offers a comprehensive warranty, covering almost every aspect of your home during the first year, except acts of God, abuse, or neglect. Additionally, we provide a third party, 10-year warranty for your home’s foundation—far exceeding the limited warranties offered by many other builders.
We not only allow but encourage third-party inspections before you close on your new home. Our confidence in the quality of our work ensures that we welcome external evaluations, as our goal is to ensure you are completely satisfied and confident with your purchase.
